Lore

His is a tale of charm and daring — heroic feats backed by deadly prowess. A traveler of the Realm looking for worthy foes to test his mettle, sharpening his skills and weapons alike. Adored by the people, feared in battle — Tiberius, The Weapons-Master, knows no equal!

Born of the Tigron, Tiberius is the pinnacle of their values. A dashing legend — bold, brash, and relentless — anointed by an ancient blade, destined for battles that are nothing short of legendary.

With Chakrams, forged by the weapon-smiths of his ancestors; and a sword, forged from the heavens themselves — an ancient artifact capable of banishing unspeakable evils from this world — he is ready for any threat! Tiberius is exhilarated by the opportunity to match blades with a worthy foe. Snarling, he charges headlong into the fray, unleashing an unrelenting storm of steel, claw, and fang. En garde!
